BrightPath Oriole Park Childcare Centre

Overview

Our centre can be easily accessed off 67th Street (aka David Thompson Highway) at Orr Drive, the traffic circle exit by the Tim Hortons. The centre itself is located on the corner of Orr Drive and Osler Crescent in the residential Oriole Park West neighbourhood.

A small centre offering 54 spots for 6-week to 5-year olds, it invokes a community feel by nicely blending with the rest of the neighbourhood. Fully licensed and accredited, the centre is working toward bringing natural elements into its classrooms, creating a comfortable, home-like atmosphere. Each classroom features its own access to the outdoor space, allowing children and staff to move more easily between the two environments. The large play yards are divided into age groups, allowing children to play and explore in safe, age-appropriate settings.

Kindergarten-aged children have the option of partaking in the afternoon onsite Kindergarten at Oriole Park’s sister centre, BrightPath Eastview.

Centre Information

Centre Director

Shawna received her Early Childhood Education Diploma in 2007 from Academy Canada in Newfoundland. Upon graduation, she worked at a Newfoundland child care centre for two years and then relocated to Red Deer in 2009. Shawna has had the pleasure of working at all three Red Deer locations and has enjoyed making BrightPath her work family for most of her career.

Shawna’s favourite part about being a BrightPath Director is getting to meet new families and having them become part of her Centre Family. She hopes to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all staff, families and children. Taking great pride in her work, she loves to see staff do so as well.

In her spare time, Shawna enjoys relaxing with her husband and family dog. She likes collecting and listening to old records and she loves to sing. She also enjoys camping, hiking, watching movies and spending time with friends.

What our families think about BrightPath Oriole Park

"Our children have been going here for about 6 months after having a very poor experience with another daycare. My son had minimal words when he moved as he was kept in the baby room at the other daycare and not the toddler room like he should have. Since switching and him being with kids his own age he’s speaking amazingly. We are so impressed. My daughter had made really great friends and enjoys going. The food is great and made in house by a red seal chef. I get jealous of the great, healthy meals they get to eat every day. The price is reasonable for the outstanding services you get."

"My 2.5 year old daughter has been a part of this amazing daycare for almost 2 years now and I can not say enough amazing things about this facility. The staff is caring, professional and very dedicated to providing the upmost care and education to the children. I have seen the impact of their curriculum as my daughters language, motors skills, understanding and social development has increased tremedensoly since being enrolled. The staff and Director take the time to talk to the parents each day and discuss any concerns they might have. I would highly recommend this daycare facility to any parent!!"
